Gnu rope, anyone?

["Andrea Aime" <aaime comune modena it>]

Is there anyone who knows if grope is still under development, or
if the authour (Nat?) is willing to release grope sources to
the world and let someone continue his work?
Just curious, I'm still hoping to see that 30% performance improvement
on gcc :-).
Please answer also to my private mail, I'm not on the list
Best regards
